              Dictionary of the Fungi</a> (currently 10th edition, 2008) published 
              by CABI also contains the current consensus on the fungal taxonomic 
              hierarchy (incorporating AFTOL) to the rank of genus. Here you can 
              <a href="Names/fundic.asp">search the database</a> for the status 
              of generic names, or walk down the hierarchy from the rank of <i>Kingdom</i>. 
              The entries for each genus generally include authors and place of 
              publication together with the type species (linked to Index Fungorum) 
              and other data. A database of <a href="Names/Families.asp">family 
              names</a> which includes authors, place of publication and type 
              genus (linked to the Dictionary of the Fungi hierarchy) is now supplemented 
              by one which contains names at all supra-familial ranks although 
              it is far from completion (especially at the rank of Order and ranks 
              between the primary ranks).<br>

              the biodiversity, classification, distribution, evolution, identification, 
              nomenclature, phylogeny, systematics and taxonomy of fungi (including 
              yeasts, lichens, chromistan fungi, protozoan fungi and fossil forms).
